Mitt the Twit is a Progressive? You must be joking. (VIDEO)

Mitt Romney_adjusting tie

Mitt Romney is a permanent member of what I like to call Darwin’s Workshop. He is always evolving, and that makes it difficult to pinpoint his positions on anything. He changes positions like people change their underwear (daily). However, one thing is certain. As he makes his presidential run in 2012, Mitt Romney is not a progressive in any sense of the word.

Hateful Janice Crouse Bashes Gays in Defense of Marriage (VIDEO)

Janice Crouse

The CWA opposes gay rights, comprehensive sex education, drug and alcohol education, and feminism. It touts “pro-life” and “pro-family” values. A few days ago, Concerned Women for America posted a video (below0 with Crouse rattling off a litany of statistics about the gay community’s threat to traditional marriage. Janice’s God only knows where she got the statistics she presented in the video. I’ve tried to find them prior to writing this rebuttal without much luck.

Why Elizabeth Warren and Tammy Baldwin Matter in 2012

E Warren_T Baldwin

When people ask me why these two candidates are so important, my answer is very simple: Both women are true progressives, and that’s what America needs. It’s pretty clear that the present ‘system’ of electing our leaders isn’t going to change any time soon. We’ve made halfhearted attempts at reforming the election process and have basically gotten nowhere.

The old Biblical idiom “out of the mouths of babes” couldn’t be more apt than for this brave young man. Eight-year-old Elijah confronted crass, homophobic Michele Bachmann at a book signing and gave her a piece of his mind on her hateful rhetoric against people like his mom, a gay parent.

I love it when political candidates are forced to handle real questions from an informed citizen. That’s just what 16-year-old Jane Schmidt did to Michele Bachmann during a campaign stop this past week when she asked the candidate what she would do to support “LGBT rights.”

Norquist_Boehner_Cantor blend

This is one of those rare video finds that takes the time to explain in the simplest terms how the American economy got so screwed up, how the wealthiest 1% assumed so much control, why there is a need for the Occupy movement to succeed, and the real difference between Democrats and Republicans.

Mississippi Turning: Voters Reject GOP’s Agenda for Women

ProChoice_war on women edit

It turns out when people figure out the Republican agenda for the country, they want no part of it, and the country ceases to be the mythical “center-right” nation that right-wing apologists like to speak of, and tilts full on to the left. John Kasich got spanked in Ohio for his anti-union overreach, Maine reinstated same-day voter registration…

WWJVF? – Who Would Jesus Vote For? (POLL)

Matt Barber

First of all, the idea that an omnipotent being would give a Buddha’s butt about an election is ridiculous, and is further evidence of how dangerous these supposed “Christians” really can be when influencing their misguided flock. Secondly, we think Jesus would weigh all the issues, consider all the candidates and their beliefs, then come down squarely in support of …

Last Word on the Bieber Baby and Kardashian Katastrophe

Kardashians

Republicans and neo-conservatives have been clamoring about the threat same-sex marriage poses to the institute of traditional marriage. Gay and lesbian couples who have gained the right to marry in some states have already proven more of a commitment to their life-partners than Kardashian showed to her hubby; if Bieber truly did cheat on his long-time girlfriend, well, not to be graphic here, but it wasn’t his values doing the salutin’.
